Definitions

  • the patent application relates to a seat belt connector for securing pets, primarily dogs in a car, primarily in the back seat in such a way that its connecting member is engaged in a releasable manner in a seat belt buckle housing firmly fixed to the car seat, replacing the adjustable length portion of the seat belt of the car, and fastened directly to the harness of the animal by means of a fastening carabiner, which is connected to the connecting member by at least one adjustable length stalk portion in such a way that the stalk portion is directly fixed together with a cover element touching the connecting member, covering it at least partially.
  • the stalk portion is fixed to the connecting member by passing through a cover element opening.
  • the width of the cover element extends beyond the release button of the buckle housing, preventing the accidental opening thereof if the dog steps on it, and also keeps it clean from dog fur, etc.
  • the cover element can be tilted perpendicularly to the connecting member opening, to allow comfortable access for the user to the release button of the buckle housing.
  • Patent application No. US 20140033991 A1 entitled “Leash Latch”, relates to a device for securing pets in a car, which is an improvement to an existing retractable leash for walking, leading dogs on a leash, wherein a seat belt tongue is attached to the underside of the spring-loaded automatic retractable leash unit, which can be fastened into a seat belt buckle fixed to the car seat.
  • a disadvantage of the device is that the seat belt buckle fixed to the seat is not covered, that is it does not have a cover element. It does not have any other element to prevent the accidental opening of the seat belt either.
  • the outer cover of the strap or cord is made of a hard, rigid material, which can disturb or injure the dog while travelling.
  • Document US 6 834 621 B1 discloses a seat belt connector according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the cover element should not prevent the dog from using the back seat of the car properly, its surface should not cause injury to the dog.
  • the material of the cover element should be break-proof and/or elastic.
  • the cover element unlike the solutions disclosed in the prior art, should partially cover both the buckle housing and the connecting member.
  • the cover element should cover the opening of the buckle housing, thus it should prevent any dirt, unavoidable when transporting animals, from getting into it beside the connecting member. It is also a task to design the edge portion of the cover element like a drip deflector.
  • the stalk portion and the folded back stalk portion threaded through the cover element openings should squeeze a given section of the cover element by forming a loop, which should contract with the load on the stalk portion, reducing the load generated by the pulling and tugging forces on at least one occasion.
  • An aim is to provide an elastic design for the intermediate wall portion, to make the load reducing effect of the contraction repeatable. Another aim is to ensure that the direction of compression of the intermediate wall portion is perpendicular to axis line, thereby the intermediate wall portion is subjected only indirectly to the forces coming from the direction of the fastening carabiner.
  • Another aim is to reduce the load generated by the pulling and tugging forces acting on the transported animal by a cover element and stalk portion design that ensures the absorption of the load on at least one occasion by means of the compression of a given section of the cover element.
  • Another aim is to provide an elastic design for the cover element, especially the intermediate wall portion, that allows constant and long-term use with regard to the pulling and tugging forces.
  • Another aim is to cover the buckle housing in an appropriate proportion in a way that allows the user to easily access the release button under the cover element, by tilting it in a certain way.
  • Another aim is to ensure that the cover element can be tilted in both directions perpendicular to the tongue opening, to allow access to the release button.
  • Yet another aim is to determine, optimize the elasticity of the intermediate wall portion surrounded by the loop-like design.
  • the invention relates to a seat belt connector for securing pets, primarily dogs in a car
  • the seat belt connector comprises a fastening carabiner, an adjustable length stalk portion connected thereto, a slide adjuster ensuring the adjustability of the stalk portion, and a connecting member covered by a cover element.
  • the main parts of the connecting member are a protruding portion surrounding a connecting member opening, and the protruding portion continues in a tongue plate surrounding a tongue opening.
  • the cover element is made of an elastic material, has a hemispherical (dome-like) shape, in the upper part of which there are cover element openings, which are parallel to each other and to the connecting member, and the distance of the cover element openings from each other is equal to or larger than the thickness of the connecting member.
  • the lower part of the cover element which is circular or oval shaped, has an outwardly curved edge portion.
  • the area of the cover element bordered by the cover element openings is the intermediate wall portion.
  • the cover element is located above the connecting member, covering it partially, in such a way that the lower part of the stalk portion is threaded through one of the cover element openings, the connecting member opening, and then the other cover element opening.
  • the stalk portion starting from the connecting member opening and threaded through the other cover element opening is the folded back stalk portion, which is the continuation of the stalk portion, and is connected to the stalk portion in a stalk portion fixing zone.
  • the stalk portion and the folded back stalk portion form a loop, this is the loop portion.
  • the stalk portion and the folded back stalk portion are fixed to each other in the stalk portion fixing zone by sewing.
  • a buckle housing having a receiving opening and a release button is firmly fixed to the car seat for receiving the connecting member.
  • the connecting member can be engaged in a releasable manner by means of the tongue opening in the receiving opening.
  • the cover element can be tilted in the direction perpendicular to the tongue opening in a bell-like manner, allowing access to the release button of the buckle housing.
  • the width of the lower part of the cover element is larger than the width of the buckle housing, and the largest width of the cover element measured perpendicularly to the axis line is larger than the length of the tongue opening of the connecting member measured in the direction of the axis line.
  • the intermediate wall portion squeezed by the loop portion as a result of the pulling and tugging forces acting during normal use, is deformed, compressed to an extent depending on the density of the material of the cover element in the direction perpendicular to the axis line, reducing the load acting on the body of the animal due to sudden braking.
  • Figure 1 shows the full length of the seat belt connector 1 and the belt or strap-shaped stalk portion 4 thereof, at one end of which there is a fastening carabiner 2, while at the other end there is a cover element 5 arranged symmetrically to the axis line 15, preferably domed in the direction of the fastening carabiner 2.
  • the stalk portion 4 between the fastening carabiner 2 and the cover element 5 is adjustable by a slide adjuster 3.
  • the stalk portion 4 is threaded through a cover element opening 11 of the cover element 5, and then a connecting member opening 6 in a protruding portion 13 of the connecting member 10, parallel to the cover element opening 11, as shown in the local cross-section.
  • the stalk portion 4 continues in a folded back stalk portion 4a (not shown in this figure) threaded through the other cover element opening 11 and fixed to the stalk portion 4 in a stalk portion fixing zone 8. This way the stalk portion 4 and the folded back stalk portion 4a form a loop portion 17.
  • Figure 1 shows a buckle housing 9 designed and firmly fixed to the car seat in a known way, the release button 9b of which, shown in Figure 3 , is easily accessible.
  • the stalk portion 4 passing through the cover element opening 11 extends into the connecting member opening 6.
  • the connecting member opening 6 is an opening in the protruding portion 13 of the connecting member 10, running parallel to the cover element opening 11 and having a width suitable for accommodating the stalk portion 4 in a wrinkle-free manner.
  • the cover element opening 11 and the connecting element opening 6 are approximately of the same size.
  • the connecting member 10 continues in a tongue plate 12 extending from the cover element 5 and having a tongue opening 7.
  • the tongue opening 7 is partially covered by the cover element 5.
  • the largest width of the cover element 5 measured perpendicularly to the stalk portion 4 is larger than the tongue opening 7.
  • Figure 1 shows the seat belt connector 1 and the buckle housing 9 having a receiving opening 9a, firmly fixed to the car seat, in an out of use state, removed from each other.
  • Figure 2 shows a top view of a preferred embodiment of the cover element 5 having a circular shape, with the cover element openings 11 running in parallel to each other, and the intermediate wall portion 16 and the loop portion 17 located between them. It also shows the fastening carabiner 2 located between the cover element openings 11.
  • the cover element 5 has an edge portion 14 running around the entire circumference thereof, preventing the introduction of water and dirt into the buckle housing 9 of Figure 1 .
  • the stalk portion 4 of Figure 1 is not shown in Figure 2 , as it is covered by the fastening carabiner 2.
  • the cover element 5 has an edge portion 14.
  • Figure 3 shows in the A-A cross-section that in the most preferred embodiment the cover element 5 and the connecting member 10 are arranged symmetrically on both sides of the axis line 15.
  • the stalk portion 4 passes through one of the cover element openings 11 of the cover element 5 in the direction of the connecting member 10, extends into the connecting member opening 6, passes through it, and continues in the folded back stalk portion 4a.
  • the stalk portion fixing zone 8 and the connecting member opening 6 form a loop portion 17, which surrounds an intermediate wall portion 16 of the cover element 5 on the two sides of the axis line 15.
  • the elastic, rubber or plastic material of the cover element 5 is dimensionally stable elastomer, silicone or caoutchouc.
  • the cover element 5 has an edge portion 14.
  • the tongue opening 7 is engaged in the receiving opening 9a of the buckle housing 9. In the event of shock-like tugging forces, the elastic cover element 5 can reduce the unpleasant forces acting on the dog through the compression of the intermediate wall portion 16.
  • the invention is suitable for preventing the accidental opening of the release button when transporting pets in the back seat of a car.
  • the cover element also protects the buckle housing from dirt, fur, etc.
  • the contraction of the intermediate wall portion dampens the micro-tuggings acting on the body of the dog.
